It doesn't seem like there has been much written about this machinima film; I haven't been able to find significant coverage. The sources I've found consist of:

  1. A 2011 paper by Stanford's Henry Lowood titled "Perfect capture: Three takes on replay, machinima and the history of virtual worlds" where Zinwrath is merely mentioned in a list of examples. (This segment can also be found in Lowood's 2010 book The Machinima Reader)
  2. Lowood's 2009 "Warcraft Adventures: Texts, Replay, and Machinima in a Game-Based Storyworld" where it's, again, just mentioned.
  3. A 2007 hundred-word article on Engadget
  4. A 2009 Engadget interview with one of the people who worked on it, where less than a hundred words are dedicated to Zinwrath in general (there was a previous video also containing Zinwrath in the title).
  5. A 2008 igromania.ru article, with a paragraph about Zinwrath and Illegal Danish: Super Snacks

Thus, I'd propose a redirect to List of machinima works, where it already has an entry. toweli (talk) 09:29, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect Great work on doing a WP:BEFORE. I was also able to find a passing mention in World of WarCraft Magazine. Regardless, passing mentions fall short of significant coverage needed for notability. The coverage is too short to evidence even basic things like what the film is, what happens in it, and how it was received. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 11:28, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
